>>733636283
Nintendo has not put out hardware that felt quality to use since the Wii-U.

Switch and switch 2 can be snapped in half by a toddler having tard rage, the joycons are notoriously gigantic pieces of shit and it's all in the name of portability which is fine I guess but that's the price we get to fucking suffer through when they merged the handheld and console markets they cornered.

>>733636725
If you actually want to play games and the buttons and performance matter, you spend around $200 on a retroid pocket 6 or ayn whatever on sale (not the thor, the hinges are built to break, always will be). If you're just trying to hop on the fad, get a 34xx, tape that fake diagonal nigger d-pad up and you'll play your horrible, poorly paced, ear piercing Gen 1 remakes on 3x integer scaling.

>>733638043
They waited for the patent to expire, but while laws don't apply to corporations, taking down chink businesses would be near impossible.

False. Chinese airports will confiscate power banks that don't have a particular safety certification. Any power bank made today by a reputable Chinese manufacturer will have this certification.
>>
>>733638201
>power banks that don't have a particular safety certification
Ah, so most chinese batteries. I appreciate the clarification.

>>733638295
Most Chinese batteries are in old power banks? That's quite peculiar. It doesn't matter anyway since we're talking about handhelds, not power banks

>>733636283
Out of all the portable electronics I've ever had, the only ones that ever had swollen batteries are one phone and a PSP, and the phone was my fault (had it plugged into a fast charger and fell asleep while playing a game on it, and somehow the phone ended up under my pillow where it cooked itself to death.)
I've had a lot of portable devices over the years, including like 5 chinkhelds.
1. Don't buy cheap fast chargers.
2. Don't rely on fast chargers, especially if they're cheap. Just save them mostly for last-second "holy shit" charging.
3. If you're going to leave an electronic unused for a long time, take the batteries out if you can.

>>733636165
>title screen post
I was going to say that chinkheld can't do Switch 2, but you're probably solely referring to playing GBA Pokemon on it.
That said, I think literally 100% of all of the cheapest handhelds and chinkhelds can run 95% of GBA these days (minus the Playdate, LOL. That piece of shit barely runs GBC).
Fuck chinkhelds with hinges though.

What kind of post is this, some kind of odd marketer throwing a fit, or some young normalfag that tripped and fell into /v/? You and the phone guy.

In my opinion, games back then have/had:
>actual dungeons and puzzles
>actual custom UIs a lot of the time instead of generic Arial font type shit
>less censorship (and more ways to remove it)
>custom romhacks/fangames/undubs/etc. that might fix issues you have with a game
>actual difficulty if wanted, even difficulty settings usually had something more than just increasing numbers too
>more variety in game quality, meaning both high highs and low lows, which is more interesting than every game running Unreal and having "anti-soul gas" and DLSS
>different sound chips, meaning games can sound unique (I'm looking at you, SEGA)
>almost no DEI/ESG-flavored stuff, so races and sexualities were picked for a REASON, rather than some dull checklist
>unique effects via weird niche graphical chips
>little/no "focus group" vibes where shit feels like it was picked by a committee for mass appeal

The only trade-offs:
>some can be REALLY short, like 20 minutes short
>some can be shockingly hard, long past the point of being unfair
>assuming no romhacks, some games can be really broken, like whole classes in an RPG not working, or shit like Missingno existing
>most games just assume you read the instruction booklet, so half the lore and all the controls are in there, leaving you fucked if you don't read it

>>733639981
Laptop-designed messenger bag (no laptop), and a backpack with a metal spine and way too many pockets. I'd rather not bother unless I'm planning on being out all day or walking through a city though, since then I'd bring a backup battery and a USB cable with me, mainly for charging friends' phones or whatever portable gaming device I've got on me since my phone's battery lasts a bit under a month per charge thanks to an efficient chipset and a 10k mAh battery built in.
Plus it's kinda ass to carry bags anyway since a lot of stores in 20XX make you put your bag by the registers and hope the cashiers give a singular fuck about keeping the slightest wedge of their peripheral vision on it so it doesn't get stolen.

My usual setup is carrying a chinkheld in a shirt pocket or a jacket pocket and that's it (plus the necessities, my wallet, phone and keys, duh.) Works great, no complaints.

>>733641358
The only ways to get one preloaded with games are either buying from:
A. Some sus dropshipper on Amazon that'll get shut down a week after you buy it because it's illegal to sell chinkhelds with pirated games on them.
B. Direct from China via Aliexpress or something.
C. Direct from the manufacturer.
Buying one with preloaded games is kinda ass 90% of the time though since every chinkheld under like $100 almost always put the games on the most comically-awful SD card you've ever seen that dies after a month (or less).
Shoutout (bad) to my original Powkiddy v90 coming with a micro SD card that crashed every 3 seconds and had transfer speeds worse than a floppy disk.
Shoutout (good) to my 28xx coming with a micro SD card that works perfectly because it's made by a shell company of one of the big-name brands for some reason.

I have a theory the chinkheld companies have finally burned through all the shit-tier mSD cards by now and that the odds of getting a good one are way higher, based on what I've seen and how rare complaints are getting.

I bought something like that on a whim and it was honestly pretty good and inexpensive. Had a few issues like having to buy a wifi adapter for it so that it could update itself and I discovered that you shouldn't use or store them in cold temperatures because it screws up its ability to boot but thats only and issue if the room temp is below freezing.

Most of them come preloaded with just about every handheld game from retro handheld ever made and they allow you to put your own stuff on there pretty easily.

Would definitely recommend i think /vr/ usually has a thread about them going for anyone interested in actual details and not trolls whining about China.

I mean really so much of what you buy already comes out of China, why bother nit picking about this?

The FPGBC isn't as accurate as a Chromatic, or even an Analogue Pocket. This has been documented. The Analogue Pocket has numerous issues itself, though I personally think that the problems people have with the d-pad are overblown. The Pocket also has the added bonus of supporting other consoles/handhelds, and supports running ROMs out of the box rather than requiring a flash cart. The Chromatic is more accurate than the FPGBC, and has a screen that feels more authentic to the original experience while still being backlit. With a modded GBC you have full accuracy, and there are plenty of screens that are larger (pretty sure the FPGBC just uses screens that were already in-use for GBC modding), and the OLED option provides better motion clarity than the Chromatic (and far better clarity than the Pocket, which has worse motion clarity than the Chromatic).

>>733648882
If you call a chinkheld a console, you deserve what you get. It's okay to play them in the privacy of your own home but if you take this cheap shit to school where kids are wearing nikes and gucci handbags, and you show up with your offbrand chinese LX5400 xiaobing toy, what'd you expect to happen?

Chromatic's screen is designed to be more accurate, that's about it. You aren't getting an accurate screen with a modded GBC either. The only way to get 100% accuracy is the original screen. The FPGBC literally has better compatibility software wise.
Chromatic has a defective d-pad with shit diagonals and awful battery life, also numerous reported quality control issues. It's overpriced trash.

I'm not talking about the accuracy of the screen. The FPGBC has documented timing issues that are not insignificant. You'd be better off with software emulation.

Haven't heard anyone say anything about the battery life being bad and that hasn't been my experience. The d-pad is fine, literally two theoretical issues were brought up at release and neither amounted to anything.

Most (not all) Retroids and Ayns are solid, really good d-pads. You obviously don't want anything with a hinge, and you should do your research for each model individually lest you end with, for example, a fake 4:3 chinkheld that covered a 31:27 screen with the shell and ALSO fucked up recalculating the resolution losing pixels in the process and making proper scaling impossible.

Souldn't be THAT brutal, but I sort of agree. Atleast make it so they can't go to public school at all, even the higher functioning ones. It'd also be nice if lawmakers made it illegal for us to talk to women. It'd discourage us from talking to them and having an embarrassing/awkward moment in front of them. We don't talk to women anyway, so it's not like we're losing much in terms of rights. Might as well just make it illegal at this point.
>>
I like the idea of these things but the extra cheap batteries actually do scare me a bit. I bought a 40$ one a while back and it does ps1 and below just fine, it is crazy how many people just collect these things instead of actually playing anything and shills abound in every discussion thread. I might buy something more expensive, though I recently discovered my old samsung tablet has nearly the same chipset as the retroid pocket 5, I got the latest version of some emulators and actually got ps2 games working at 2x res, so I'm not sure I actually need anything new now.

Do they seriously not have GBA era games working on switch 1? Even my phone can run those, the only excuse for buying them instead of emulating is transferring pokemon

Coulda been, but the 28xx is better, albeit also not perfect. A30 has better face and shoulder buttons and a bigger dpad, and the addition of the analog stick is nice, but the dpad has basically no pivot and is too mushy. 28xx's controls are smaller and the shoulders are kinda shit, but the dpad and buttonsstill feels better in terms of responsiveness. A30 also doesn't support any shaders, even basic shit like Gameboy pixel grids and simple scanlines, and has literally no good operating systems available to it. 28xx can use every lightweight shader under the sun and has an embarrassment of decent OS choices available (Knulli being the best of them)

Both of them are a compromise, but the 28xx is just nicer to use.

Idk why you would want to use a chinkheld for your game boy games when the game boys were superior tanks with some of the best buttons in history. My SP is 20 years old and its still got squishy reactive D pad.

These things are a fucking fire hazard because of how shitty the batteries and charging ports are. As a cost-cutting measure, they all ditch the sensors that stop them from charging when full, which leads to bloating or exploding.

28xx is fine if you do the tape trick on the dpad, and optionally you add something to the triggers to make them not rattle as much.
